Once there, the upstanding Morgan Hiller finds himself in trouble when he interferes with the attempts of Nick Hauser and his gang, "The Tuffs," to mug a man. Nick swears that he will get revenge. More tension arises between the disparate youths when Nick's girl falls in love with Morgan.

Spader is the new Dean in this rebellious teen drama/thriller. I really liked it, and if you're a fan of Spader you'll like it too.

It's cheesy in parts of course (teen 80's) but that's only part of it's charm. I'll never get tired of this film. It's a fun and entertaining viewing experience. Great soundtrack as well.
